                                                            How to Simplify Your Life
Less is more. This is why we say: reduce things by half instead of doubling them, get rid of junk
instead of piling it up, relax instead of stressing, slow down instead of speeding up. Apply these
principles in your everyday life in a conscious way. You will then find yourself well along on your journey
to simplification.
1._____
When you concentrate on one task, you find you have energy that you didn't even know you had.
Just imagine: you arc at a fair and you have to carry two heavy pigs over 100 yards. If you keep
grabbing one and then the other, it will take forever, because one of them will keep slipping out from
under your arm and running off. But if you tie one pig in a place, pick up the other, gather all your
strength and make a dash for the finish line, pause for a moment, run bock and get the other one, and
with great determination, carry the second pig to the finish line, then you can be sure of succcss.
2. ______
The pressure at work is on the increase in all occupations. In the modem nuclear family, the
expectations that formerly would have been shared among all the relatives are now concentrated on the
individual partner.
If you have the feeling that 24 hours per day are not enough for nil the things you need to do, then it's
not because the day has too few hours, but because you have too many activities. A simple fact that
overloaded people often tend to forget. The solution is equally simple; refuse to accept so many work
assignments in your private life or your working life.
3._____
"I can handle stress" is regarded as a positive statement in the world of work. People who can handle
stress are given more and more to cope with - until one day they break.
Pay careful attention to the signs that tell you that you arc under more stress than you can cope with.
These signals came from various areas of life. You become ill, or your work efficiency decreases.
If you have any of these symptoms, change your life goals and decrease your tolerance of stress. Say
quite openly, "I can't manage that. "
4._____
"If only I were slimmer, more beautiful, richer, more clever, then I would be happier. " This is a dream
that makes a lot of people ill, depressed, and unhappy. Life has its flaws, defects, comets, and edges.
Only those who accept this reality can lead a really full life.
Of course there are activities in which errors are dangerous; driving a car, crossing the road. But life
doesn't consist entirely of these things. In among them there is a lot of room for small and large mistakes.
5. _____
Successful people ail have their own places where they can withdraw in order to work. Find out
which places improve your creativity. For me it's the train. When I know that I'm going to be traveling
for four hours without phone calls and people knocking on my door, I find my mind is free and I can
read or write complex articles. There can be problems working on the train, of course: if the person
sitting opposite you keeps talking away, or if train trips make you tired (some people fall asleep after a
few miles).
